Joe Brolly joined Will Slattery to discuss Mayo's resurgence, why he thinks the Super 8s are a disgrace, and Tyrone's chances of upsetting Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final.

After meeting Lee Keegan following Mayo's destruction of Roscommon in the All-Ireland quarter-final replay, Brolly explains why 'you can't help smiling after talking to him'.

He also thinks the upcoming Super 8s, which will replace the current quarter-final stage, will be terrible for the football championship.

On this week's episode of The Throw-In, Brendan Cummins and Alan Brogan join Will Slattery, Rory O'Connor, Conor McKeon and Donnchadh Boyle as they discuss all the weekend GAA action.

Galway pipped Tipperary in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday, and Cummins feels that Tipperary suffered from not adding a new element to the game plan that delivered the Liam MacCarthy Cup last season.

In football, Brogan feels that the semi-final battle between Jim Gavin and Mickey Harte has been building up for years. Brogan explains how Gavin became 'obsessed' with breaking down blanket defences after losing to Donegal in 2014, and discusses whether Diarmuid Connolly should get back in the Dublin team to take on Tyrone.

Tomás Ó'Sé, Alan Brogan and David Brady join Will Slattery, Rory O'Connor and Conor McKeon as they discuss Mayo's continuing struggles. Why is Andy Moran being taken off with fifteen minutes still to go ask Brady and Brogan? 'He is the type player you need to win a game at the end,' says Brady.

Kerry struggled against Galway but were only in fifth gear and are fearful of quarter-finals says Ó'Sé, while Brogan believes Dublin will have too much against Monaghan in their quarter-final clash next weekend. Plus for Tyrone v Armagh, 'all bets are off - anything can happen when Ulster teams play each other in Croke Park' says McKeon.

Joe Brolly joins Will Slattery to explain why he has an apocalyptic vision of the future of the GAA, how it could end up like cricket with all the games on pay-per-view, and why an All Ireland final at Kentucky Fried Chicken Park might not be that far away. 'It's coming and coming soon,' warns Brolly.

Brendan Cummins joins Will Slattery, Colm Keys, Rory O'Connor and David Brady for this week's Throw-In as they discuss Davy Fitz's tirade against the punditry of Michael Duignan and Henry Shefflin, the sweeper in hurling, the likely hurling finalists and if Mayo's guts will be enough to win an All Ireland.

Alan Brogan, Joe Brolly and Sligo manager, Niall Carew, join Will Slattery, Rory O'Connor and the Herald's Frank Roche on this week's Throw-In.
Despite a seventh Leinster title in a row, Brogan says there's a lot for Jim Gavin and the team to work on and that Tyrone look like the team that could cause them trouble.
Also on the show, Niall Carew defends smaller teams setting out defensively with 14 men behind the ball and points the financial clout of the bigger counties in helping their preparations.
Plus, Joe Brolly on the primacy of athleticism over skill and why the day of the free-scoring corner forward is over.

In the wake of Jim McGuinness joining Beijing Guoan as assistant manager, Joe Brolly talks to Will Slattery to discuss the managerial genius of the Donegal man and why he sees him managing Barcelona one day.
"He’s remarkable person, the type you meet and walk away from feeling inadequate," says Brolly. "It’s a marker of the guy that he was offered such as a big job in China. You meet people like him once in a while and realise they’re destined for great things."

On this week's show Will Slattery is joined by Rory O'Connor from Rory's Stories, INM's Donnchadh Boyle, Mayo's David Brady, Cork's Anna Geary and Waterford's John Mullane.

Looking ahead to the hurling qualifiers, Mullane says the Waterford players are relishing the chance to play Kilkenny and get a first win against the Cats since 1959. He also reckons Davy Fitzgerald would be better off spending more time in the stands while the panel discuss whether managers should be on the sidelines or further away from the pitch.

In football, David Brady says Mayo are naive and have no plan or shape and need more forwards with an eye for goal while, turning her attention to Cork, Anna Geary questions where the rebel fighting spirit has gone?
